DETAILS: <br>
<br>
In San Francisco, on September 21, 2013, at noon, environmental
justice and climate activists will convene at the entrance to
Heron'’s Head Park with residents of Bayview Hunters Point and
Treasure Island as part of a global day of action to ‘'Draw The
Line’' to highlight severe local climate crisis impacts that will
hit vulnerable neighborhoods all over the world. <br>
<br>
Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice will join with
350 Bay Area, Treasure Island Health Network, San Francisco Green
Party, Our City, and residents of Bayview Hunters Point and
Treasure Island, to sound a warning on how the dangerous
acceleration of climate warming will impact San Francisco'’s local
neighborhoods that are most vulnerable to sea rise caused by
climate change. Cities all over the U.S. and the world will hold
similar actions to call attention to their own looming local
climate and sea rise impacts. <br>
<br>
THE LOCAL ISSUE: <br>
<br>
Because vast tracts of San Francisco’'s Bayview Hunters Point and
Treasure Island are at sea level on the San Francisco Bay and are
also situated on or next to toxic and radioactively contaminated
sites, as climate change progresses, these neighborhoods will be
at high danger of a perfect storm of disastrous interactions
between sea rise, earth quake liquefaction, tsunami vulnerability,
and the toxic and radioactive contamination. <br>
